It's not snark, it's calling out a fundamental error of extrapolating a short term change in progress to infinity. It's like looking at the first version of an IDE that got intellisense/autocomplete and deciding that we&

The thing about cloud is that it bundles in tons additional costs that while yes, they do provide a better product in measurable ways, also you might not actually want. What if I want a cloud, but I only want two or three 9s of availability

It seems somewhat plausible that Israel somehow managed to sabotage a pallet of pagers they knew were going to be distributed to people involved terrorism. If so the number of bystanders injured might be relatively low and the number of leg

We know absolutely zero about how the pagers were distributed.

It's not especially novel, it's just a lot of similar weapons systems (e.g. cluster bombs, anti personnel landmines) are banned these days.

The maintenance costs of microgeneration (especially wind) just seems like it kills all ROI to me.

Getting cooked is also not cancer. There is also not evidence for a link between burn injuries and cancer anyway.

It is delusional to think that even the top 0.01% of interviewers can detect the difference in candidates that accurately.

My cat has the occasional bad arthritis flare up which we give her Solensia (another NGF targeting drug, but via monoclonal antibodies) for. It works incredibly well. Within 12 hours they go from being barely able to walk to being totally f

I am not reducing it to "Intel bad". There's tons of evidence of them having execution problems in recent years. Is it savable? Possibly. Intel is huge and has a good amount of time and support so they certainly have the reso

Isn't the whole problem that it wasn't QA'd out precisely because Intel no longer know how to ship good products? Sure Intel have the resources to make their customers whole on this screw up but the concern is that Intel have

I live in an area served by Southeastern and have plenty of non-Southeastern transport options.

ULEZ is a London specific thing where you have already admitted there are great alternative transport options.

If the difference between two numbers in Celsius is Kelvin, what unit is the difference between two numbers in Fahrenheit?

Programming is not a binary. Leetcode does almost nothing to help you level people on the majority of real world coding problems people face.

AI are not people and can not run for office. Only a person can be an MP. An AI can only be an MP in the sense that a human can run on a platform of always doing what a particular AI tells them to do. Most MPs always follow the whip, so t

There are 100% dog men but rather than "more dogs" they tend to go for "more dog". There are also definitely "rat people", but not Splinter IYKWIM.

A moderately powerful desktop processor has memory bandwidth of over 50TB/s so yeah it'll take a couple of minutes sure.

There is some but not nearly enough to generate useful amounts of wind.

by __alexs 2y ago
I spent 5 years working in wind microgeneration (but with helical turbines) and entirely agree. Rooftop solar works because it's cheap and simple to set up. Wind is not that. The structural and installation requirements result in relat

If a project is not under active development it may just be "done". How many minor version bumps per year does left-pad need?

Might be worth a shot. The original developer still seems to be alive and doing stuff at https://fixdst.com/

Gamers like to get mad and overreact about stuff sure but there are some legitimate issues here, it's not purely just gamer-whining. If you bought a game and now there's just no way to play it with your friends anymore, that'

PSN is not available in many countries so this resulted in lots of players just being unable to play anymore.
